Countertop Hockey

I grabbed the handle of a wooden mixing spoon with both hands and lined up the perfect shot! Right in front of me, a lone ice cube was glistening on the polished granite counter, melting just enough to eliminate all friction. With a sudden swing, I struck the cube dead center. Whack! It went zooming across the slick surface like a rocket, leaving a shiny water trail before slamming right into an upright cereal box goalie! A spectacular goal on the very first attempt! I hoisted the heavy spoon straight over my head in total victory.
